Mostly fantasy, really, given the old-world type setting.<BR/><BR/>I was at Shinn's website and she definitely says there that she's not planning on writing anything else set in Samaria. So sad. I'm lucky I have two more to read. ;)<BR/><BR/>Brie--I also really loved her Twelve Houses series and Summers at Castle Auburn. I'm going to start collecting her older books.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804281162557876557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-81345852188629364112008-05-23T21:05:00.000-04:002008-05-23T21:05:00.000-04:00I like Shinn's writing and luckily I have this one...I like Shinn's writing and luckily I have this one on hand.

Mmm... the plot twist is what makes it so hard to categorise this series.<BR/><BR/>I wish she would write more books set in Samaria - it's such a unique world. And yes, love the way she describes the music - I'm not musical by any stretch of the imagination, but it's just wonderful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-80948406644327581902008-05-23T09:28:00.000-04:002008-05-23T09:28:00.000-04:00Rosario--Gah!! Damn. I forgot to change the color ...Rosario--Gah!! Damn. I forgot to change the color of the text that I meant to white out. I hope I haven't ruined it for anyone. I fixed it now. :(<BR/><BR/>I really wish I hadn't known about the spoiler, though as you say there are pretty heavy hints from the very beginning. But even though I knew, it was still exciting, which I guess is proof that the suspense is handled really well! I just finished The Alleluia Files last night (stayed up much too late reading it), and I liked how it all ended.<BR/><BR/>I've got both Angel-Seeker and Angelica still in the TBR. I might take a little break before reading them, but I'm sure I'll get to them soon.<BR/><BR/>Nath--I loved the romance in this one, mostly because I loved the characters so much more than Rachel and Gabriel. But the love story is very sweet and I think it's focused on a bit more than in Archangel. Overall, I found it a much more satisfying read than Archangel. I'm really glad I gave the series another try. :)Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804281162557876557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-27346728321800831282008-05-23T06:55:00.000-04:002008-05-23T06:55:00.000-04:00Hmmm, sounds like this on was much better than the...Hmmm, sounds like this on was much better than the other? Maybe I'll give it a try :D Still, is there some romance in it? Was it better than between Rachel and Gabriel?nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-3892074854536224372008-05-23T02:41:00.000-04:002008-05-23T02:41:00.000-04:00Love, love, love this whole series.

I was lucky enough not to know about the Big Spoiler (BTW, it doesn't look whited-out on my computer!), and I think this made the book even more enjoyable to me. Not that I was completely surprised... as you say, there are plenty of clues seeded all through the book, but I kept refusing to believe she'd really go there. I'd compare the big revelation with the ending of the movie The Village, only much more successfully done.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and did you know Angel-Seeker is set on the same period as Archangel? The other one, Angelica, is set centuries before them all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
